As I have never had training or opportunity to take art classes, when I heard about a 12-week free webinar painting classes (2 hrs.in length, Sat and Sun afternoons) through Wet Canvas, I was determined to sign up.
11 x 14 WIP
Today was a demonstration painting and we were told we could paint along if we wanted. I got my pallet laid out with the colors the instructor suggested using, but found out at the last minute he was doing it in watercolor instead of oil. He also had sketched the larger shapes onto his support, and I hadn't had time today to view the reference photo he had emailed us.
Well, I decided I'd go for it anyway!....with my oils, as that is what I work with. I just painted along with him, filling in shapes in the general areas, and doing my best to keep up with him. This painting is not done yet of course, but it was a very fun exercise, and I feel I am learning alot about a whole new way to paint. I will post the painting when it is finished. I am so thankful for the opportunity to take part in these classes! Thanks to
Wet Canvas and Johannes!

Thanks for taking the time to check out my blog Sunny! I also have been watching the webinar. I am finding it really informative. Kudos to you for painting along with Johannes! Your painting is coming along nicely and I hope to see the finished product!
Well, look at you go, girly! Very nice. I have to send my sis Mel from UpNorthWithMel over here. She would love that class.

Looks great and sounds fun. I really like Wetcanvas, so much info there for artists. I heard about this workshop but I haven't been able to join yet.
